How are you finding the 10, Alan?
I have no idea what to do...I got a comment today that there is lag between what you see via the EVF and what you finally take - I'd have assume that EVFs work like OVFs is what you see is what you get ?

@scottduffy have a look back through this thread at @craftysnapper 's shots with the 75mm - they're lovely
Whilst I haven't used it, bear in mind it's effectively 150mm - I have just sold my 85mm ( equivalent to 127mm ) and things were pretty tight when used indoors. Maybe a 45mm 1.8 would be better - and also considerably cheaper
Thanks for the vote of confidence Damion.
scotduffy I have a album of images taken only on the 75mm on my flickr, I hope it helps.
It is here https://www.flickr.com/photos/paul_silk_photography/sets/72157649644105936/
Stunning shots mate. Thanks for sharing them with me. Food for thought.
I keep hearing that the jpegs from the x series are second to none and since I'm not too hot at post processing is thought this was a very important selling point.
Decisions decisions.
I think you should take a deep breath and have a serious go at processing images yourself because... If you shoot raw you've always got the raw file to go back to and try something else but with jpeg it is what it is. You can do stuff to a jpeg but maybe not to the extent that you can with a raw. Also, as newer and cleverer software comes out you might find that you can do even better things to a raw file that may well not be possible with a jpeg, for example I used to be pretty happy with jpegs and then when processing raws with Rawshooter Essentials but I found that I could get better results from raws processed in CS5 and if I'd shot jpeg I'd have been much more limited in what I could do.
Processing raws can at first to be a pain and intimidating, maybe, but once you get on with it it's pretty easy and doesn't have to take all night. For example most of my shots take just seconds to process. I have a few changes saved as presents and once these presents have been applied often all I do is adjust the exposure, straighten any wonky shots and maybe crop or clone out anything unwanted. So, many of my images are processed in considerably under a minute. Probably something like 20 seconds actually. Personally I wouldn't let jpeg quality be a deciding factor unless I was doing something that involved very large numbers of images that had to be turned around very quickly.
The worst thing is is that's it's crap aswell. There are loads more worthy shots on Flickr than that, one of mine for instance.
